Techsmith Discrepancies/Bugs

[Archive]

Just the things I've noticed after getting Techsmith and spending about a couple minutes looking at the Gondsman. I'll add more later if and when I find any.

This gondsman costs the techsmith nothing, for it is assumed that in the time before becoming a techsmith he has been researching and working on parts of the gondsman in his spare time.

Creating a gondsman costs 500 gold.

Only the former is accurate. When a Gondsman is created, up to 500 gold is removed from the character, but that same amount is returned to the character immediately. It does not require having 500 - and can be done with 0 gold, in which case none is returned.

d10 for hitdice

The Medium Gondsman actually uses d12 hit dice.
I was dumb, that +6 HP was its CON modifier. Nevermind this one.

It has a basic attack which deals 1d8 base damage.

The Medium Gondsman's basic attack deals 2d10 damage with a crit range of 20/x2. This is not considered a two-handed weapon (does not gain 1.5x STR to damage).
(Greater) Magic Weapon can be used on its basic attack.

each time the Techsmith gains a level, he may add an upgrade to the Gondsman, selecting the following options: ... +1 BAB

+1 BAB is not an option for the Gondsman on leveling up.
Also, the initial number of upgrades for the Gondsman at 1st level is 4, not 1.

It can use any equipment appropriate for it's size.

The Gondsman can only equip a single weapon. It cannot be given armor or accessories of any kind.
Magic Vestment cannot be used on the Gondsman.


Unlisted features:
- The Medium Gondsman comes with Power Attack and Cleave.
- The Medium Gondsman has a poison-based breath weapon. I don't know what it does, but the DC to resist with 3 HD and base stats with 17.

Thanks for the write up, Archive! I'll run it through QC and we'll try to update what needs fixing.

The unlisted features go for the small sized Gondsman too, by the way, and the breath attack deals con damage.

That's probably Iron Golem fumes (same as the Ombra Poison of the same name) which maybe they shouldn't have...

Initial: 1d6 CON
Secondary: Death

If it poisons you, you can flat out die on a failed secondary poison save so cure it ASAP.

The Medium Gondsman's base attack is now set to 1d8 damage.
However, two-handed martial weapons (or at least greataxes) are now considered invalid weapons for the Gondsman to equip.

the update should have given the gondsman a armour, but when i use the cleric armour buff, it fails,syaing the gondsmans dosent has a armor

the armour on the gondsman has dropped by 10 points, dont know if its a nerf or not intentionel... but its real hard to get the thing to survive now

and the thing whit the two handed martial above, i experience the same

Gondsman armor/weapon thing fixed.

The AC nerf was not intended. I added it an armor and forgot to add armor profiency .
